Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 5 Update

 

Happy Monday, PPPers - I'm here as usual at the start of the week to update our standings. The domestic leagues were back with a bang this weekend after the first interminable international break of the season. With the drab 1-1 draw between Forest and Burnley this evening, Week 5 came to an end. City won a fifth match on the trot and are thus at the top of the league with Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal all in hot pursuit. At the bottom, Everton, Burnley and Luton are propping things up. PNE continues to rule the root in the Championship with early favorites Leicester right behind. In Europe, Real, Inter and Leverkusen are top of the pops. 

Erling Haaland rattled in another goal to top the charts with seven goals from five matches. Pedro Neto and Mo Salah both have four assists and Ederson, Sanchez and Vicario all have a mere two clean sheets. The second yellow card for a silly offense category was settled with Ollie McBurney talking himself into a slightly early bath in the Blades hilarious stoppage time collapse against Spurs. 

It all means that we have a new leader this week - Someone Said - who has jumped out to a four point lead with a whopping 47 points. Here are the standings in full:
